We wanted a peaceful, relaxing few days surrounded by beautiful countryside, and Shepherds Delight was the perfect place for it. We expected to spend much more time out and about, but we kept finding ourselves back on the spacious decking, looking out over the gorgeous lake, whether it was with a cup of coffee in the morning or by the fire in the evening. The whole place has been so thoughtfully designed, both inside and outside the shepherd’s hut. The wooden interiors, rowing boat, BBQ, well-equipped kitchen with a small fridge, and the amazing shower were all lovely touches that made our stay even more special. You can also take a short walk through the adjacent field to see the lovely alpacas, or head up the hill behind the hut for stunning views across the Devon countryside. The owner was incredibly accommodating and gave us a little tour of the property and its immediate surroundings when we arrived, which was a lovely touch. We also took the recommended 15-minute drive to The Agricultural Inn, where we had a wonderful evening. We couldn’t recommend Shepherds Delight more, and if we ever find ourselves back in Devon, we’ll definitely be staying here again!...

Wow! Absolutely stunning location. Beautifuly set out and mindfully crafted. Breathtaking views and plenty of gorgeous areas to sit and chill. Wild swimming, fishing, rowing and being surrounded by nature was the highlight for us. We were even blessed with the company of a baby field mouse who happily sat and was handfed a biscuit! Stunning little sheperds hut. Very comfortable and equipped with everything you need. Great decking area. Perfect for cooking and eating outdoors. Paul was a lovely host and made us feel very welcome. We look very forward to booking our next stay! Thank you so much! Tamsin, Michelle and Anu the dog x ...

An absolutely charming little shepherds hut, in the most idyllic setting! So peaceful and relaxing. The perfect place for a nap sat next to the lake next to the fire. Absolutely stunning setting!
